Description
Executive functioning is a complex neuropsychological construct involving several higher-order cognitive processes. These processes guide, direct, monitor, and control behaviors, cognitions (e.g., problem-solving and goal pursuit), and adaptive skills and functions (i.e., flexibly adjusting to a changing social environment). Executive functioning capabilities influence multiple domains including school readiness, success and learning, interpersonal relationships, social competence, psychiatric health, and employment abilities. Sleep dysfunction has been known to negatively impact executive functioning capabilities. This training is designed to increase understanding of the causes, consequences, and interventions for persons impacted by executive functioning impairments and sleep disturbances. Empirically-based research findings will be presented throughout this training.
